thebigword Offers Free Translation Management Tool

ThebigwordGroup has set out to offer an alternative to SDL/Idiom that is scalable and has little capital investment on the front end. Hmmm...sounds intriguing.

ThebigwordGroup is a global translation and language services company based out of the UK, but with offices across the Globe.

Their offer is the standard version of their SaaS solution LanguageDirector free of charge. The LanguageDirector is a complete solution for translation, localization and interpretation in a single web-based interface. It comes in three editions: standard, advanced and enterprise.

The decision to offer the standard version free is in response to the acquisition of Idiom by SDL, both of whom offer translation management services. They say this is a customer centric approach which enables the customer to best chose the solution that fits their organization's needs.

Well that's all great, but what exactly does this standard edition of LanguageDirector provide a company?

?Companies looking to purchase a TMS have traditionally had to integrate technology specific to that TMS into their own workflow. When we created LanguageDirector we made sure to build it around industry standards that are currently available. For the customer, this means they are not bound by any proprietary technology or vendor,? stated Larry Gould, Chairman of thebigwordGroup.
